Because it's really revolutionary technology.
If the bitcoin network had its own smart contracts along with fast and cheap transactions - then we would not have seen such a large capitalization of the Ethereum.
But now we see what is. It is possible that Lightning Network will correct the state of things.

Большая надежда на т.н. "сайдчейны", о которых говорил Виталик. Проекты вроде Raiden Network, Plasma и подобные им - именно они могут сделать всю сеть эфира быстрее и надежнее. Но у биткоина на подходе Lightning Network, и если это сделать транзакции биткоина такими же быстрыми и недорогими, как у эфира - тогда выйти на первое место эфиру будет значительно сложнее.

Согласен. Биткоин, без сомнения, может сделать х2 - он ведь уже достигал цены в 20.000$. Но у эфира потенциал роста еще больше, ведь инфраструктура вокруг проекта растет бешеными темпами. Сколько каждый месяц проходит ICO? 50? 100? Больше? Я думаю, что их количетсво будет только расти. Если эфир сможет преодолеть проблему масштабирования и скорости транзакций, то то цена может уйти даже выше 5000.

Friends, tell me please - is the entrance to the myetherwallet using a private key from the phone a sufficiently secure solution? Thank you.

Are there any similar wallets applications for iOS? I do not mean "cloud wallets", I'm interested in exactly storing ERC-20 tokens on my device.

Thanks, Sir.
I see that ETZ already traded on the Yobit stock exchange.
I hope that the ETZ mining will be more profitable in the first months than the ETH. Without involving miners, this coin is unlikely to receive much support from the community.

Update: i try to mining ETZ with ethminer, but my hashrate is too low - only 2.8 Mh/s - why? Year ago i have 21 Mh/s (GTX 970 Gaming).

Возможно в ближайшие дни мы еще увидим просадку ETH вплоть до уровня поддержки в 800$. Почему? Потому что сейчас эфир немного восстановился отчасти из-за сегодняшнего/завтрашнего форка ETH Zero, который начислят в пропорции 1:1 всем держателям эфира. Неизвестно, как эфир поведет себя после форка, особенно если тот окажется удачным (а с отсутствием комиссий у него есть некоторые шансы стать таковым).

I completely agree. Two crypto-currencies in the investment portfolio is a very low degree of diversification.
It is optimal to have 10-20 coins in your portfolio.
In this case, if even the price of one of the coins falls drastically, then this affects the total value of the portfolio not so much.

Hello colleagues!
Tell me please, is there already any preliminary information about the nuances of mining ETH Zero?
I understand that the fork will only be today/tomorrow and I'm not talking about the price. I'm interested in the initial complexity of mining and quantification of coins, which can be mined on videocards.
Thanks!

Hi! Are the messages in the local sections of the forum counted in this signature bounty campaign?

Hello mr. bounty manager!
Can you tell me please before what date will the signature bounty campaign continue?
Thanks for you attention.

Коллеги, подскажите пожалуйста - баунти уже закончилось или еще нет и можно вписаться?
Благодарю за внимание.

Thank you very much for the prompt solution of this problem and fixing the error in the table!
I was sure that everything would be all right.
I'll be looking forward to sending bounty tokens.
I also look with interest at the courses that appear in the BitDegree MVP and I think to go through some of them. You have a really cool project, guys!

Please don't worry. We all think that this is just an unfortunate mistake that will probably be fixed soon.

Probably, the team simply did not enter the working rhythm after a short vacation and inadvertently made a mistake. Isn't it?
We will wait for the answer of the Community Manager.

Maybe some mistake here?
Why only 500.000 BDG in signature bounty googledocs?

In other language Bounty threads i still can see 1.500.000 BDG for signature campaign. In this thread some days ago been 1.500.000 BDG too.

Here is it:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2574440.0 1.500.000 tokens!
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2473133.0 1.500.000 tokens!

and other...I can go on, but why? You can find it via site search with "bitdegree bounty" query.
The evidence is irrefutable, and in this thread we all remember the figure of 1,500,000 tokens for the campaign of signatures. Perhaps someone made a screenshot?

Nevertheless, I believe that the team of such a wonderful project is honest and kind people who just made a mistake in the table and forgot to finish "1 million" before "500.000".

Please, fix the mistake in bounty table.

Now it looks like finally counted. I really hope that the tokens will be sent this week, as they wrote in the chat.

Why brave? I did not do anything wrong. On the contrary, I still bear the signature.

Big thanks, friend! But i still can't get of signature - i really love this project)

Today in official Telegram chat Rokas said that signature changing is possible now.

I wore BitDegree signature for two weeks more than necessary, and I do not regret it because I'm happy to help such a wonderful project.

Now I want to make a screenshot of my post with a signed signature and BitDegree avatar before i change my signature. Today 15th January, 22.04 in UTC+3 timezone.
